Good challenge

Well yeah, I was looking forward to this game, and it really impressed me with the graphics and the gameplay. What I really don't like is that there's no commentary during the race, you're just hearing the engine sounds...and...aaa...that's it for the sound, yeah. In rest, this game is great, and if you want a challenge and you think you're a good gamer, buy this game, set it up on hard mode, and full laps in the championship mode and get going...the opponents are acting like the drivers in real life.

Alot of fun. But not as good as it should have been.

I have had immense fun playing this game. The sound and graphics are incredible and it gives an amazing feel of speed. All the teams and drivers are there. But it does have its flaws. The cars are very twitchy to drive and it is easy to leave the track and spin or crash. With practice it does get alot better. F1 cars seem rather smooth through corners, not so in the game. The AI is terrible. Cars are always getting in the way or turning into you. The last place car will ram you from behind. Pitstops are always the same length, some variables based on the teams would have been good. There is no real commentary, but I like that. It's just you and the car, no chatter. Although it might have been good to have an option of commentary and/or crew cheif. It would have been good to have crew information. Knowing who was in the pits would be helpful. Getting to chose the pit stradegy was a nice touch.

Overall this game needs to be better. But for all it's faults I have still loved playing it. But I do hope if they do a 2001 game that it will be improved.

Pretty good for F1 fans, but there are better driving games.

I got this game when I first got my PS2. Now, I'm sure I liked this game more than most and forgave it for its flaws because I'm such a F1 fan. It is a fun game and the tracks are very realistic (when watching an F1 race I would know the track perfectly when watching an in-car shot after playing the track on this game). The graphics are nice as well. The crashes are a little absurd, but amusing nonetheless. I do say the Gran Turismo 3 is the best driving game on the PS2 or any other system.

(...)Anyway, if this gets through... Grand Prix 3 and the Thrustmaster on a PC makes for the best racing/driving sim game I've ever played. See my reviews on amazon for those items as well.

Truly Impressive Simulation

If the first reviewer would spend some time with the game, it becomes terribly apparent that much of his bemoaning is misdirected. After setting a satisfactory qualifying time, you can escape the qualifying session. Of course EA would not require the player to sit through the entire hour qualifying session. Moreover, steering wheel lock can be modified. After reading such a negative review, I am not sure the first reviewer spent any time at all playing the game. To those F1 fans seeking a good simulation, this is your PS2 game.

F1 Championship Season 2000

Best F1 game yet. Only thing missing is the commentary during the race. It gets a little boring doing a full race distance at Hokkenheim.

Solid game

There really isnt anything wrong with this game. Sure, one of the modes is missing that was in the ps1 version but it really doesnt make any differance. Its still a solid game. However unless your in to F1 racing you might want to go for something else.

Must have for F-1 fans.

If you just want one racing game wait for GT3 but if get a thrill of driving at Spa or Monza then by all means buy this game. Good game play, very realistic, great graphics. Would be better with a steering wheel. 2000 cars and drivers, so no Juan Montoya.

F-1 - Good Start for the PS2

Being a racing fan, I would of course buy almost any racing game for the PS2. Pending the coming of GT3, I would have to rate this as the best racing simulator available at this time for the PS2.

The graphics are great. The game play, while not perfect is reasonable and makes it interesting.

Compared to EA's Nascar 2001, this game has better game flow and the graphics don't bog down. Now if they could just translate some of these factors over to the next version of Nascar.

As the programmers get more into the PS2, this game will get even better. Keep on keeping on EA.

My Opinion = Two Thumbs Down!

I purchased this game to add to the racing fun of the GT3 bundle with my PS2. I was sorely dissapointed with F1 from the graphics to the game play. First I thought it was just GT3 overshadowing the game but after time I realized that in my opinion the game is not worth keeping. Sold it on Ebay for cheap.

SOLID GAME
